Mission Statement

  • To afford recreation direction only where wanted, and where people indicate a desire and a willingness to help themselves.
  • To seek cooperation among all interested municipal agencies in financing, site selection, facility planning, and other aspects of public recreation development.
  • To establish the Community Recreation Council as the local cooperating agency essential in determining local needs and suggesting joint efforts to meet them.
  • To establish the school-recreation center with its idea of the school, its facilities, and properties, as a dual-function unit combining educational and recreation opportunities for the people of its neighborhood.
  • To acquire and preserve open spaces for public recreation purposes, with specific reference to stream valleys, reservoirs, and the County's shoreline on the Bay.
  • To develop programs, activities and experiences, using recreation councils when possible, that meet the recreation needs and demands of County residents.
  • To develop and operate land and facilities only when such sites can be adequately maintained.
